Brendan, thanks for letting me know about the laser collimator, I didn't realise I'd need one!
Re laser collimator - there are those who favour them and those who don't. I use one. Ask the guys at Bintel when you see them - get them to demonstrate the use of one on a scope compared to other methods. Eg. get them to demonstrate using a combined sight tube/cheshire collimator. Then you can decide.

Also, you don't need the 25mm plossl if you have the 26mm GSO eyepiece. The 26mm will be a 2" eyepiece, the 25mm will be a 1.25". Go for the 26mm - give you a feel for 2" eyepieces. I think the 6mm GSO plossl is of little use.
